Prison and Wine – Fall Bus Tour
What could be more fun than combining prison and wine?! No, we will not be trying the popular red wine brand Prisoner, but we will be heading north on a trip to the Texas Prison Museum in Huntsville, Texas, combined with a lakeside lunch and visit to a nearby winery (self-drive or bus). We will start with a visit to the prison museum, a fascinating place with exhibits covering tales of colorful historical Texas villains, as well as the prison system itself and its evolution since establishment in 1848.
After our self-paced tour, we will move over to Lake Conroe for a scenic lunch at renowned Papa’s On The Lake and some tasty food and beverage. There is even a swimming pool for guests, should anyone be so inclined!
After lunch we are off to Threshold Vineyards in Navasota for a group tasting of 5 of their unique Texas wines, in an outdoor setting with a beautiful view of the vineyard.
We will plan to head back to H-town after a fun and memory- filled day.
This is a bus trip from West Houston, or optionally self-drive.
